Car owners love their four-wheeled gems, in which they can get from A to B in style. You also have to make sure that the car is always kept in good condition. This can often cost quite a lot, especially if you live in a rural area. But it is precisely in these places that it is most practical to have a vehicle that can get you to any place quickly. After all, you don’t always want to be tied to public transport. We have some of these tricks and tips for you here, with which you can keep your car in good condition much better and, above all, cheaper. You don’t have to buy large and expensive equipment for this and you don’t have to be a mechanic. So we can save a lot of money and still drive around on the road with a car of our choice in top condition.
Every driver should definitely know these tricks!
Toothpaste for blinding headlights
Our headlights can look pretty bad pretty quickly. However, we have a much better trick to combat this than the usual expensive variants. The cheap and clever solution is quite simple: use toothpaste. With a mild solution, you can make the dull headlights shine again. Toothpaste usually contains a mild abrasive, which should also protect our teeth from plaque. So if we use this solution, our headlights can shine again, and quite cheaply too. Simply rub a small amount of toothpaste into the headlights with a cloth

Key service with brains for everyone
Next, we have a real magic trick for you that can be really useful. If you’ve ever tried to lock or unlock your car, you have to stand a certain distance away from it. If our key fob doesn’t work, our own head can easily come to the rescue. The radio signal can actually be amplified with the help of our body fluids. To do this, simply hold the key fob under your chin and open your mouth. Then press the button and your car is unlocked or locked. If in doubt, just try it out.

Combat misted-up windows with air conditioning
When our windshield suddenly fogs up, it’s not just annoying. If it happens while you’re driving, it’s also very dangerous because you can’t see well. If you don’t want to simply pull over and clean the windscreen or adjust the car’s defrost setting, we have another tip for you. Many people actually do this instinctively. The quickest and most helpful way to deal with this is to simply set the car’s air conditioning to full blast until the windscreen is clear again

Protect your windshield
Our windshields have to withstand extreme weather conditions, perhaps much more than most would imagine. After all, they have to hold their own in the cold winter and hot summer. Most people use a summer screen, as it is a good way of protecting the whole car from getting too hot. You can simply use a blanket, tarpaulin or plastic cover. Simply fix it to the sides or attach it to the wing mirrors. However, you can also use the windscreen wiper to attach the chosen material very well.

Nail polish to the rescue
It’s pretty well known that nail polish can be used for more than just nails. We can use it to repair torn tights and many other things. But would you have thought that it can even be used to protect windscreens? If a small pebble hits the windshield, it can be a big nuisance. In this case, you can still apply a large amount of nail polish to the small cracks. Although this small injury does not disappear, it can prevent large cracks from appearing and the windscreen from breaking as a whole.
Nail polish is a lifesaver
Another purpose for hand sanitizer
These days, most hand sanitizers are always accessible. What they are used for is common knowledge, but there are many other ways we can use them. If our car lock freezes, we can simply reach for our small bottle. If we don’t have one to hand, we can always heat our key with a lighter or simply blow warm air at the keyhole. We can also apply WD-40. This effort is certainly not that great just to get back in our cars

Pool noodles can be perfect car protection
Do you have any idea what we can use pool noodles for in terms of our car? Well, we’re sure you’ll love this rear end. Surely you know the problem of opening the door too wide in the garage. This can not only damage the car door, but also the garage. However, if we attach a pool noodle at the right height, this mishap will never happen to us again. It will also save our car from a few scratches. So be sure to keep the pool noodles after your next swimming vacation!

The absolutely perfect and always available food warmer
Many people don’t order their food home but prefer to pick it up themselves. But even so, it can often happen that the food is completely cold by the time we get home. The solution could of course be to eat everything in the car, but that is certainly not what most people have in mind when they buy their food. So what could be the right solution? Well, this little trick is sure to keep everything warm. Our food should simply be kept warm by the seat warmer. Ingenious, isn’t it?

Just ask the delivery boy!
I’m sure many people remember the days when you often had to ask for directions or laboriously fold up and search for road maps. Nowadays, of course, programs like Waze or Google Maps make things much easier. You can even find out whether there is traffic, roadworks or an accident ahead of you. You can also get better route recommendations. But if the internet is not working or we are abroad, we should ask someone with local knowledge. The best people to ask are suppliers who know the area very well.

Press out a dent easily and cheaply
If you get a dent in your car, it can not only be very annoying, but also expensive. Even if it’s only a cosmetic treatment, you don’t want to leave it like that and a workshop can be quite expensive. Fortunately, there is a cheap and quick solution that we can easily apply at home. All we need is a plunger. With a few different sized plungers, we can easily smooth out the unpleasant damage to our car from small to medium-sized dents on our own.

A natural and cheap alternative for a fresh scent in the car
Many people are familiar with the famous air fresheners that hang in various cars. These can be bought in many colors and scents and many are window drops. However, many people want other ways to keep their car smelling fresh. For this we can resort to alternatives and also cheaper solutions. For example, you can put a fragrant herb bag behind the rear-view mirror or you can put the contents in a breathable cloth and tie it with a ribbon. You can also add cinnamon sticks or cloves and a few drops of oil, for example.

Cola to remove rust
If we find rust in our car, it is certainly a very annoying thing. An alternative can be a drink, which may come as a surprise to some. If we use cola or other soft drinks to remove the rust, we will be in for a pleasant surprise. However, we will also understand much better why these drinks are so bad for our teeth. After all, the acidity damages our teeth enormously. However, we must not forget that this acid also attacks the color of the car. Incidentally, we should not use soft drinks on the engine.
